ABSTRACT:
In one aspect, a soil slurry mixing apparatus comprises: a) a support structure configured to extend at least partially across a bioreactor vessel; b) at least one fluid inlet conduit supported by the support structure and configured to extend within the bioreactor vessel, the inlet conduit comprising an inlet port; c) a plurality of outlet nozzles supported by the support structure and configured to extend within the bioreactor vessel, the outlet nozzles being in fluid communication with the fluid inlet conduit and comprising outlet nozzle ports configured to be submerged beneath the surface of the slurry within the bioreactor vessel; and d) a pump in fluid communication with the fluid inlet conduit and outlet nozzles and being configured to draw soil slurry from the bioreactor vessel through the inlet conduit port and to discharge said slurry from the outlet nozzle ports to within the bioreactor vessel to mix the soil slurry within the bioreactor vessel. In another aspect, a method for mixing a slurry within a bioreactor vessel, comprises: a) providing a support structure across the bioreactor vessel, the support structure supporting one or more fluid inlet conduits and a plurality of outlet nozzles, the inlet conduits and outlet nozzles being within the bioreactor vessel, the outlet nozzles being in fluid communication with the fluid inlet conduits; b) drawing fluid from the slurry into the inlet conduits; and c) discharging said fluid into the vessel from the outlet nozzles to mix the slurry within the bioreactor vessel.
